Vortex lab

We visited the lab to learn about vr/xr, we all got the chance to use the device there to experience a virtual world. First, I tried the architecture one, to experience and explore the virtual world. It was pretty cool, we can even change the material of the building, the weather, the time zone, etc. Next, I tried drawing in virtual world. It was fantastic and so interesting. I draw a lot of nonsense and just explore the tools and function they have.
